What in your opinion is the easiest world boss to solo from a newbie perspective?

But as for newbie I suggest going to public dungeons instead - they are much more closer to real PVE experience new player will have in group dungeons and also provide ton more reward..

Ha ha. Good one.

And if the newbie player hasn't reached level 10 yet, there's always the "world-bosses" on Bleakrock Isle and Kenarthi's Roost. No danger of getting zerged there.

Generally the ones that don't have adds or had very weak ones.

A few examples from first alliance zones, which new players are likely to encounter:

Auridon:
- Heritance Proving Ground: Anarume - boss has no adds (unless you pull the trash mobs around her), the base attacks are weak and you can easily step/dodge out of the AoE
- Nestmother's Den: Nestmother - same as above, healing mechanic is easy to see and bash

Glenumbra:
- North Shore Point: Asard - zombie, very weak attacks, has no special mechanics, only has adds at the start
- Western Overlook: Limbscather - lurcher, hits relatively hard with the main lounge attack, but it doesn't do it often and it's easy to see it and move out/block/roll dodge

Stonefalls:
- Brahma's Grove: Ozzacha - netch, has no special mechanic, as long as you move out of the fixed and very visible poison AoE you can't really die to this boss
- Strifeswarm Hive: Strifeswarm Champion - kwama warrior, calls very weak adds, doesn't have a hard hitting attack

I have been able to recently solo all of those above bosses and a few more on my crafter chars without any passives allocated when I went out to collect some more skill points in order to spec int jewelry crafting.

And there are those which are difficult to solo even for fully leveled & geared characters:
Stonefalls: Shivering Shrine: Aurig Mireh - golden saint with lots of clannfear & scamp adds, hits very hard on its own
Grahtwood: Nindaeril's Perch: Nindaeril & Bavura - tigers, they hit quite hard and they have a very hard to survive combo: one fears you, the other does and one-shot jump at you at the same time.
Rivenspire: Valeguard Tower: Menhir Stoneskin - gargoyle - puts a very strong DoT (bleed) on you and calls waves of hard hitting Templar & 2H brawler adds.
Wrothgar: Unfinished Dolmen: Zandadunoz - ash titan, the boss itself is not a problem but he calls lots of portals that spawn suicide scamps, hard to down those in time especially if you're melee
Vvardenfell: Sulipund Grange: Wuyuvus - hunger, has an unavoidable feed mechanic with unbreakable stun, can only be interrupted by a 2nd player or if you are a DK and cast Deep Breath just before it starts.
Summerset: Gryphon Run: Haeliata and Nagravia - gryphons, each boss on its own is not a problem, but at the end of the fight when both come down the sheer number of AoE attacks puts a lot of strain on shields & stamina for blocking.

That Spriggan in Bankorai.

I actually do that pretty often, since there's a treasure map spot right on him and I always collect those since the zone has 2 decent sets.

First one I was able to solo (way back at CP50) was the strangler boss in Malabal Tor.


The ones I suggest a noob stay away from are the three mages in Rivenspire.

But the siren near Northpoint isn't too hard. Surprisingly easy for a nereid, actually.

Yeah I was surprised how easy she was. First world boss I soloed as a werewolf.

I've solo'd the troll in Deshan (forgot its name, been a while) a good number of times as a dd sorc. Just shield and run. Takes a while but easy. Pretty sure he chucks a rock at you though!

Bittergreen the Wild at Caravan Crest in eastern Deshaan is a good one to check out too, if you're looking to solo world bosses.

I soloed this one on a tank build just a couple of days ago. It started out as me just using this boss to "kill" me so I could test whether the Eternal Yokeda set would actually help me both stay alive & recover even with no support from a healer. It did. Then after my initial taunting and waiting to let Bittergreen kill me (which I survived thanks to the set) my pride wouldn't let me just sit there while he finished me off, so I just kept fighting him. It turns out that as long as you're tanky enough Bittergreen is surprisingly easy to solo - it just takes a long time with tank levels of DPS.

I finally soloed him on a character, a new magplar. Coming from a primarily Stam dps and tank player this was actually pretty easy. Shields are overpowered.

zombie in Glenumbra. Just stand in water, so you take zero damage, kill him with any range attack.
